Yeah, they moved from 4c/8t to 6c/12t with i7, now it's 8c/8t. Nah, I'll pass.
You'll pass because?
Intel did a performance jump in the 8th gen as a direct answer to Ryzen. Now we're back to incremental improvements like before.
8C/8T and 6C/12T perform similarly in typical multi-thread load. 9700 is the direct successor to 8700. I told you the lineup makes sense. :)
8C/16T is faster, so they added i9 to the consumer offer.

so this is a i5-8600K performance with +300mhz base clock (as i5-8600K is K - you can add +300 or substract any moment you want) - nice "job" intel.

9600K has STIM / Solder. It will OC higher and run cooler.
8600K will never reach same OC unless delidded and this aint free or without risk.

So yeah, it's a nice job. It's what 8600K should have been from the beginning.
We're finally back to solder.
